You can’t be a Michigander if you’ve never heard this: “If you don’t like the weather wait 5 minutes and it’ll change.”That’s precisely what has occurred over the past week here in our fine state. The weather has changed so dramatically from one moment to the next, we’ve literally experienced all four seasons: snow, below-zero wind chills, rain, sleet, wind, heavy rain, lightning, thunderstorms and 60 degree temps!It’s crazy, really. But, it’s certainly made for some interesting conversations. Laying in bed the other night I seriously thought the roof was going to blow off the house. And the rain - some of the most intense I’ve heard in a long time. I almost had to remind myself it was late January and not late July. All I can say is thank goodness this rain was not snow - can you imagine how much of it there would have been had it been snow? I don’t even want to think about it. I don’t have to shovel rain.Right now as I’m typing this, WWMT’s Keith Thompson is either passing a kidney stone or he’s updating the current weather. This dude needs to calm down. I want to call him up and say,” NEWS FLASH - Scientists have just discovered the phenomenon hitting across the country. It’s called JANUARY!”Yes, this is winter - the good, the bad, and obviously the ugly of it. Will it stay? NO!I also find it rather humorous that the news feels it necessary to do stories on people need to do when out and about driving in stuff. Really? What part of “stay the heck home” do they not get? And, if you have to drive then by all means dress for the weather. You never know if you went into the ditch or were stranded how long it may take for help to find you. why does someone on TV have to tell you this?Oh, and just because you have 4-wheel drive doesn’t make you invincible. I have a 4x4 Jeep Wrangler and it slides just as much as a little subcompact car when it hits ice. I chuckle sometimes when some idiot flies past me on the highway with their big truck only to find them in the ditch a little ways further. So for the most part it’s almost February which means we’re that much closer to spring. I know, you haven’t thought of it like that yet. You’re welcome!And, in if this weather is still driving you nuts - give it 5 minutes, it’ll change.
